Ben Bernanke Comes Clean About Pluto in Capricorn

Today Ben Bernanke came right out and said it. The Economy is tanking on a number of different levels. Many different fundamentals are going screwy at the same time. Food, Energy, Credit, Housing, Spending, etc. Bernanke called the challenges "significant."

That's Pluto messing with an Aries Point I guess.

Meanwhile, the Shrub got up on his podium right beforehand and told everyone that things are fundamentally fine. That means that he's not going to do a damn thing to fix it or to help it. He could at least take the high road and excuse himself from office.

Pluto in Capricorn seems to indicate that core of the crisis in things Capricorn, like Government leadership. Since my Parents divorced during the Pluto ingress into Libra (relationships) along with half the couples where I grew up I have no problem with seeing how all the Divorces helped spur a major depressing shift back in the 70's.

There's definitely a discrepancy between how the populace votes and how the elected people vote. And this is what happens when the powerful get too powerful. One thing for certain, Bush hasn't been right about anything yet so he's not going to start now.

Ray Merriman pointed out in his talks at UAC that the U.S. suffers a major financial crisis when Pluto passes into Cardinal Signs. The Great Depression was Pluto in Cancer. When Pluto passed into Libra 1973-4 there was also a big Recession. Now Pluto is moving in Capricorn. I guess this sort of shows how Western Astrology works even though the placements of the planets are set up according to the Aries Points/Ingress Spots/Seasons. We are placed in the Universe, probably how the Astronomers and Vedic Astrologers see us. But we also are placed on Earth and are dealing with our existence here which seems to be existing on its own clock simulaneously.
